+## Search directories for `find_program()`
+
+It is now possible to give a list of absolute paths where `find_program()` should
+also search, using the `dirs` keyword argument.
+
+For example on Linux `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin` are not always in the `$PATH`:
+```meson
+prog = find_program('mytool', dirs : ['/usr/sbin', '/sbin'])
+```
